Course description
This programming course emphasizes the methodology of programming from an object-oriented
perspective and software engineering principles. It allows students to develop the ability to
analyze programming problems and design and document suitable solutions and to implement
reliable and robust software using contemporary program design methods. Topics to be dealt
with are: classes: data abstraction, information hiding, overloading; inheritance; polymorphism;
exceptions handling.
Course objectives
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
 Explain the basic object-oriented concepts
